>> FROM THE LOCAL STATION NEWSFOURJAX. >> DISTURBING VIDEO RECORDED
IN KING’S LYNN SHOWING A
CAMDEN COUNTY DEPUTY THROWING
A WOMAN TO THE GROUND. THE
INCIDENT WAS BACK IN JANUARY
BUT WAS JUST SHARED WITH US BY
THE CAMDEN COUNTY NAACP WHO
OBTAINED THE VIDEO THIS WEEK
AFTER GETTING A TIP. THE
DEPUTY IN THE VIDEO HAS BEEN
IDENTIFIED AS CHRISTINE
NEWMAN. THE NAACP SAYS THIS IS
NOT THE FIRST TIME THEY FEEL
SHE’S USED UNNECESSARY FORCE.
>> AND THEY’RE CALLING FOR HER
TO BE FIRED.
>> MARILYN PARKER TELLS US
MORE.
>> A WOMAN THROWN TO THE
GROUND HANDCUFFED, PUNCHED IN
THE FACE. THEN SHOT INTO THE
FRONT OF A PATROL CAR IS VIDEO
OUT OF KING’S LYNN IS HARD TO
WATCH. WHAT DID YOU THINK WHEN
YOU STOP US?
>> I THINK I WAS A LITTLE BIT
OF OVERKILL. I MEAN, I
WOULDN’T WANT TO BE STOPPED BY
THAT PERSON OR ANYTHING.
>> THERE’S JUST TOO MUCH TO
ROUGH. STARTED AS A TRAFFIC
STOP DEPUTIES SAY CHAIRS FARIA
FAILED TO STOP AT AN
INTERSECTION. THAT’S WHEN
DEPUTY CRISSY NEWMAN POLLS ARE
OVER, RUNS HER LICENSE AND SHE
SEES THAT DARIA HAS A NON
JUDGMENT SUSPENSION. BUT
DISPATCH DIDN’T KNOW WHAT IT
WAS FOR JUDGMENT AND LIKE AND
WHETHER GROUND THE REPORT
STATES. DEPUTY NEWMAN TOLD
FARIA ABOUT THE SUSPENSION AND
SHE COULDN’T DRIVE. SO SHE
ASKED HER TO STEP OUT OF THE
TRUCK. FARIA REFUSED ACCORDING
TO THE REPORT, DEPUTY NEWMAN
SAYS BARR, YOU WAS COMPLIANT
AND SOME POINT I GOT THE DOOR
UNLOCKED AND ATTEMPTED TO GET
HER OUT. THE CAR. THIS PART OF
THE VIDEO SHOWS THE DOOR WAS
OPEN. THEN DEPUTY NEWMAN
CLOSES THE DOOR. THEN SHE
TRIES TO OPEN IT AGAIN REACHES
IN AND YOU SEE THE DRIVER’S
HAND COME OUT. THEN THE DEPUTY
MOVES INTO THE TRUCK FROM THE
ANGLE OF THE VIDEO. WE CAN’T
TELL WHAT’S HAPPENING INSIDE
THE TRUCK OR WHY THE PERSON
WOULDN’T GET OUT. BUT WHAT WE
DO SEE IS THE DEPUTY
STRUGGLING TO GET THIS WOMAN
OUT. SHE EVEN MELTS HERSELF ON
THE CAR TO PULL AROUND ONCE
SHE’S OUT. SHE’S UP ON THE
GROUND. NEWMAN’S REPORT SAYS
THE WOMAN WAS RESISTING HER
HOLDING ONTO THE STEERING
WHEEL WHILE SHOVING AND
YANKING HER. ANOTHER DEPUTY
ARRIVED AND TRIED TO TASE THE
WOMAN FROM THE OTHER SIDE. BUT
IT DOESN’T WORK.
>> DEPUTY NEW MINUTES ON TOP
OF FAR IS BACK. THERE’S A
STRUGGLE TO GET HER ON HER
STOMACH. THE DEPUTY THROW
SOMETHING AWAY FROM THE WOMAN
WHILE THE OTHER DEPUTIES KNEE
IS ON BAR IS BACK IN THE
REPORT. NEWMAN SAYS SHE WAS
ACTIVELY RESISTING WHILE OUT
OF THE TRUCK IN THE VIDEO,
DEPUTY NEWMAN GETS HER IN
HANDCUFFS, PULLS HER UP BY HER
ARMS. LETS HER GO THEN STEPS
OVER HER WHILE POINTING DOWN
AT HER. THEN THE DEPUTY WALKS
AWAY. FARIA STANDS UP.
NEWMAN’S REPORT SAYS SHE TRIED
TO HELP HER UP BUT FARIA
PUSHED HER AWAY IN THE VIDEO
YOU SEE ONCE FARHI IS UP, THE
2 DEPUTIES TURN AND FACE HER.
THEN NEWMAN GRABS FARIA BY THE
ARM TUGS ON HER SHOULDER HITS
OR TWICE IN THE FACE, PULSAR
BY HER HAIR AND PUSHED HER
HEAD INTO THE FRONT OF THE
PATROL CAR. THE DEPUTIES
NARRATIVE SAYS IN MY ATTEMPT
TO CONTROL THE SITUATION, SHE
ENDED UP BEING HIT IN THE FACE
AND THEN FORCEFULLY PUT ON THE
BUMPER OF MY PATROL VEHICLE.
WOW, THAT’S THE FIRST THING
WENT THROUGH MY MIND. CAMDEN
COUNTY, NAACP, PRESIDENT
TIMOTHY, THE SET SENIOR SAYS
THIS WAS EXCESSIVE FORCE,
ESPECIALLY WITH THE WOMAN IN
HANDCUFFS. THIS IS A VIOLATION
OF PUBLIC TRUST.
>> AND WE WANT TO SEE A DIP IT
BEEN OFF THE SCREENS. WE
BELIEVE THIS. YOU NEED TO BE
TERMINATED AND WE WANT TO GO
AS FAR AS SAYING THAT SHE NEED
TO BE ARRESTED BECAUSE SHE DID
ASSAULT THIS INDIVIDUAL DURING
A TRAFFIC STOP. NEWMAN WAS
GIVEN A WARNING IN JANUARY.
>> AND ACCORDING TO THE
DEPARTMENT’S FACEBOOK PAGE,
SHE WAS NAMED DEPUTY OF THE
MONTH JUST 2 MONTHS LATER.
>> AND IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT
YOUR SCREEN, WE GOT A
STATEMENT FROM FARIA THAT
READS, I’M WORKING THROUGH THE
TRAUMATIZING EXPERIENCE ONE
DAY AT A TIME BEING A CHILD OF
A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER FOR
MY ENTIRE LIFE AND NEVER
EXPECTED TO BE PLACED IN THIS
SITUATION. IT GOES ON TO SAY
MY ULTIMATE GOAL AFTER THIS IS
TO PUSH FOR BETTER TRAINING IN
TO REMOVE OFFICERS THAT
CLEARLY POSE A HUGE THREAT TO
SOCIETY FOR THE FIRST TIME AND
NOT WAIT UNTIL IT’S TOO LATE
AND SOMEONE’S LIFE WAS PLACED
IN THE HANDS OF AN OUT OF
CONTROL LAW ENFORCEMENT
OFFICER NOW WANT TO SHOW YOU
THIS EMPLOYEE WARNING REPORT
THAT THE NAACP GAVE US FROM
THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE. THEY
NOTED THAT THE DEPUTY WAS IN
VIOLATION OF THE USE OF FORCE
POLICY IN, ACCORDING WITH THE
CAMDEN COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE
AND THAT THE WOMAN POSED NO
IMMEDIATE THREAT. NOW WE’RE
TOLD THAT OUR PROCESS, OUR OUR
REQUEST IS STILL BEING
PROCESSED.
>> THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT,
ONCE WE GET THAT INFORMATION,
WE’LL UPDATE YOU ON AIR AND
